Out to my lake house on country roads where you can just relax and look out at the water.

Salt flats or somewhere I can go as fast as possible!
What’s a fun fact about you?
I’m an Ironman. Then, I got good at BBQ...
Your favorite food
Not BBQ! Any and all Asian food. I could live on sushi, rice and noodles.

Country and rock and roll. We have tons of friends in country music, but it’s tough to beat a rocking Whiskey Myers show.

Work really hard, play even harder.

Hanging with my kids or hunting.
